SMALLPOX HOSPITAL SITE.
suit 10 Restrain the city from
Erecting in the County.

The Dispatch has heretofore an
pounced the fact that the Board OF
Supervisors of Henrico county, after
consultation with City-AttOrney Mere
dith and the chairman of the Commit
tee on Health. had decided to institute
a suit. to which these gentlemen agreed,
TO test the right Of the city to erect a
smallpox hospital in the county.
The Board yesterday, through coun-
sci. filed with Judge Wexford, of the
Circuit Court of the county, bill pray
ing that an injunction be granted re-
straining the city from erecting the
hospital as proposed. Argument upon
the petition for an injunction will be
heard Thursday the 10th instant.
January 5, 1886, the Mayor approved
resolution which had been adopted
by the Council appropriating 81, 600 for
the purchase by special committee of
site for hospital. The latter part OF
that month the committee purchased
the Morris farm, situated about two
miles north Of the city, for 1000,
for which deed was record
ed January Seth. February 9Th the
Governor approved an act amending
the Code in relation to public health 50
as to provide that when Council or
court decides to erect n hospital IN an
other county or corporation they must
first obtain the consent of the County
Court and of the Board of Supervisors
of the county in which they propose to
locate: and such Council 80 locating
the hospital shall pay damages for any
property injured by so locating the hos
pital, &c.
As soon as this law was passed the
committee appeared before the Board
of Supervisors and, without waving
any of their rights under the old law,
asked their consent to the location.
This was refused, and the matter has
been in controversy ever since.
On the Goth of January MIR. Mere
dith and the chairman of the Commit
tee on Health appeared before the
Board and urged its agreemant to the
location, but without avail, and 1t was
then decided that this suit, to settle the
matter, be instituted. The city claims
that this property had been pur-
chased and the site located be-
fore the law was amended. The
county. on the other hand, claims
that while the property was bought the
site had not been located, and that
therefore the amended law is applicable.
